Condition

Overview

Conditions are henchmen modifiers that only take effect during combat missions. They usually last for a limited number of turns or rounds and alter the henchman's combat effectiveness.

If a henchman gets incapacitated (pretty much killed) during combat, they will suffer a persistent wound which can't be healed during combat, even if they are revived using the Bandages talent.

Negative Conditions

These conditions impair combat ability, but they can be cured during combat using specific talents:

• Bandages: Revives health, curing negative conditions in the process
• First aid: Cures all negative conditions
• Second wind: Recovers some HP and cures all negative conditions

Henchmen who have the Quick Recovery perk will automatically recover from one negative condition every turn.

If a henchman receives the same condition more than once, the duration of the condition will be increased.
